That's our blog for today

That’s our blog finished for another week.

It’s as you were at the top of the Danske Bank Premiership as five of the top six all won, including Glentoran’s 1-0 victory over Cliftonville which saw Ronnie McFall get up and running at the first attempt.

The breaking news this evening was the departure of Niall Currie from Championship side Portadown, with the Shamrock Park club announcing they had parted company with their manager after 16 months in charge.

The Ports drew 0-0 with H&W Welders today and sit 15 points off the top of the table.
